Unless you are encrypting all outbound eMail, and require senders of
incoming eMail to do the same, any and all such communications are subject
to being intercepted and read, letter by letter, as eMail communication over
the Internet is all Clear Text.  I figure it is always best to never send
any correspondence via eMail that could come back to bite me, or could
injure another party.  And whenever I transmit any confidential information
I will only send it as an eMail attachment or ftp transfer after the file
has been encrypted at at least 128bit (ZipGenius at 256bit Blowfish).

Almost ditto for an web sites I send out data on.  If it does not have the

[NF] Backup Exec 11d

2008-04-17 Thread Jim Harvey
Has anyone had experience with this software.

We seem to be having nothing but problems getting this to run properly.

We're trying to back up to external usb harddrives, but it is very
problematic.  

Two major issues are, first, the software wants to treat a usb harddrive
like tape so that you have to create a space reserved for each backup
session.  We over estimate because we don't want to run out of tape/space
for each backup session.  To me this seems stupid. Why can't you just create
a folder and direct the software to place the backup files in that folder.
Second, the software consistently fails, with the error message that the
backup media is not available.  This is not true as you can see the usb
drive with all its folders, files, etc.

We have to safely remove the usb hardrive, shut it down, and restart before
the Backup Exec software will acknowledge it is there.

I'm about fed up and thinking about asking the reseller to take it back???

Hi Everybody!

http://english.sabah.com.tr/4C59B3A2702947009A66CACD74E29D3B.html

The wife of Murat Karataş, the suspect in the murder and rape of Italian 
artist Pippa Bacca, said: he has cruelly murdered a woman; I do not want to 
see him again.

The wife of Murat Karataş, the suspect who raped and then killed Italian 
artist Pippa Bacca, 'the peace bride,' has been married to him for nine 
years. The suspect's wife, Türkan Kaya, cursed the murder suspect. Kaya 
said: nine years ago, he told me that he was married but would be divorced 
soon. We had to get married with a religious ceremony; we were unable to hold 
an official wedding. Then, I found out that he had two other wives; he had 
wed one with a religious ceremony and one with an official ceremony. Kaya 
added: the police informed me about the event and I was shocked to hear 
about it. I tore up all of his photographs and threw his stuff into the 
garbage. I do not want to see him again.

Anyone still think he is NOT a Muslim? OK, maybe LDS.

RE: [NF] Backup Exec 11d

2008-04-17 Thread Gil Hale
I have dealt with tape backup vendors trying to use a hard drive as a
virtual tape drive before.  They all miss the advantages in treating the
disk as a random access device as opposed to a sequential access device like
tape.  I finally moved to SecondCopy, and then later to SyncBack SE
(www.syncback.com).  With both those inexpensive solutions there is the
option to not needlessly back up a Source File if it exists on the target,
and has not changed since the version already stored on the target.  Hence,
it is capable of a far more intelligent way of backing up in the logic
itself when compared to tape backups.  I set up paths for each day of the
week, and only do a Full Backup once a week, and an intelligent differential
backup the remaining days of the week.

The reason I went from SecondCopy to SyncBack is because SyncBack supports
Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS), so for local NTFS hard drives it can back
up Open Files for XP, 2003 Server and I guess Vista (I do not yet have Vista
running other than on a dual boot machine that I only use in XP mode).  The
last time I checked SecondCopy does not support VSS.

I then use SyncBack once a week on a File Backup Manager Server to backup up
the primary backup HDD units to a set of secondary HDD backup units
(FreeAgent 750Gb SATA II/USB2, I use the eSATA II - FAST!).  Then weekly I
use BackupAssist to copy those secondary HDD backup units onto LTO3 tape
media (3 sets I keep in constant rotation, one on site, one in a bank safe,
one at a colleagues home office).

It is a killer setup, and relatively inexpensive (LTO3 tape drive and media
was the most costly part, followed by the duplicate set of backup HDD
units).  I do it because the cost of losing data, mine or that of a client,
(much less all my programming code) would put me out of business.

Another problem I found with the Disk Behaves Like Tape approaches is some
external HDD units will go to sleep when not used for a while, and there
is no practical way to alter that behavior.  I know the Seagate FreeAgent
HDD units do that.  But, they wake up properly when accessed, and to date I
have not lost any data with their firmware logic (knock on wood).  The
upside is they offer a 5 year warranty on their FreeAgent HDD units.  So I
put up with knowing the drives do spin down with non-use, by design.  I bet
the Disk Behaves Like Tape software is not tickling the target HDD
correctly, and waking them up (?).  That may also be something being done
via Windows Power Options (I always turn off power management in MOS/BIOS
and Windows, except for notebooks - can't trust the bastards to work
properly.).

BTW, SyncBack is only $30.00USD per license.  If you use it for business,

Thus far any time there is an update I have been getting it for free.  The

RE: [NF] Feedback on Brother laser printers?

2008-04-17 Thread Jim Dettman
Malcolm,

  I've owned two Brother Multi-Function monochrome laser units and both gave
absolutely no problems up through the 5+ year range.  This is about when I
decide it's time for a new unit, usually because a new drum will be required
in the near futureg.  Actually I'm at that point again now and with a drum
running $180 USD, I am toying with getting another unit, but not because of
anything wrong with the printer.  In fact I'm really hesitant to replace it
because I like it so much.  I may just shop for a new drum.

  I however don't like the software they come with.  Never was able to get
comfortable with in.  Under Win 98, it always gave me problems and I've
really never gone back to it.  I would think that a straight laser with just
a printer driver would give you no issues.

  I've also had clients with Brother Lasers and they have never had any
problems with them.

  I would not think twice about purchasing another Brother.

Jim.

 Has anyone had experience with this software.

 We seem to be having nothing but problems getting this to run properly.

 We're trying to back up to external usb harddrives, but it is very
 problematic.

 Two major issues are, first, the software wants to treat a usb harddrive
 like tape so that you have to create a space reserved for each backup
 session.  We over estimate because we don't want to run out of tape/space
 for each backup session.  To me this seems stupid. Why can't you
 just create
 a folder and direct the software to place the backup files in that folder.
 Second, the software consistently fails, with the error message that the
 backup media is not available.  This is not true as you can see the usb
 drive with all its folders, files, etc.

 We have to safely remove the usb hardrive, shut it down, and
 restart before
 the Backup Exec software will acknowledge it is there.

 I'm about fed up and thinking about asking the reseller to take it back???

is still focused on individuals (although they claim to be working on a
multi-account control panel interface as well)

2. Migration services to help you migrate from your existing email
service to their service (move all your saved emails and folders). (Note
that this service does not migrate spam settings, folder filing rules,
etc - its just a bulk transfer of email)

3. A variety of archival options including bcc to an an archival account
and DVD snapshots of a mail account.

4. Secondary data backup via Amazon's S3 storage service.

I would love to hear feedback from anyone using the Noteworthy service.

RE: [NF] Backup Exec 11d

2008-04-17 Thread Gil Hale
I used to rely on rotating external HDD units, until I ended up with 14
active units, and 14 off-site units, for all the Servers and PCs!  It got to
be a real grind weekly having to rotate all those units...  That is when I
brought back a tape back solution, but the old DLT-IV drives I had just were
not going to hack it any longer due to the amount of bytes I had to back up
over Ultra-Wide SCSI (40mps max, but the DLT-IV throughput is slower than
that), and the number of tapes I would have to use to store all the data.

That is when I got the LTO3 unit, which can store 400Gb natively, up to 800
compressed (in theory, it is actually closer to 650Gb for me on average).
LTO4 doubles the capacity yet again, but costs a lot more moolah.  I could
have used a 320mps SCSI card on a 64 bit PCI-X (not PCI-Express) slot, but I
opted for the far less expensive 160mps Adaptec 64 bit PCI SCSI card, which
is still 4 time faster than the 32 bit PCI Ultra-Wide SCSI, and it is more
than fast enough for my needs (I can always upgrade the PCI-6d card and
double my backup rate).  I use 4 LTO3 tape media cartridges each week, for a
total of 1.8Tb+ of file content, with room to spare for growth.  It takes me
2.25 days to fill the 4 cartridges, only because I am not always awake at
04:00 to swap in another tape when one of the 4 separate jobs are done.
With having 2 sets of media off site, one in the bank safe, I really rest
easy now.  I use both software and hardware compression during backups, and
I am feeding the LTO3 with data from the external Seagate FreeAgent eSATA II
(3gps) HDD units.  The LTO3 is the choke point, even if I kicked it up to
320mps SCSI it would still be the choke point.  Those eSATA II connections
are wicked FAST!  Did I mention the Seagate 5 year warranty?  eSATA II
cables are not the same as SATA cables, see www.satacables.com for a fair
price.

The cool thing about SyncBack is I am not using a proprietary catalog
storage technique.  The files are stored on their target in native format.
So recovering a file is a snap.  As for the LTO3 unit, I use BackupAssist,
which is a graphical shell that wraps around native NTBackup.  Thus to do a
restore I do not need anything other than native Windows NTBackup on any
machine I can put an LTO3 drive into.  No fuss, no muss.  The best $250 (or
so) I ever spent on a tape backup solution.  Why not use NTBackup natively
for my LTO3 drive?  PITA, BackupAssist makes it real easy to see what I am
doing, and when.  They did a great job on that app (Australian? New
Zealand?).

Ciao!

Subject: RE: [NF] Backup Exec 11d

I have dealt with tape backup vendors trying to use a hard drive as a
virtual tape drive before.  They all miss the advantages in treating the
disk as a random access device as opposed to a sequential access device like
tape.  I finally moved to SecondCopy, and then later to SyncBack SE
(www.syncback.com).  With both those inexpensive solutions there is the
option to not needlessly back up a Source File if it exists on the target,
and has not changed since the version already stored on the target.  Hence,
it is capable of a far more intelligent way of backing up in the logic
itself when compared to tape backups.  I set up paths for each day of the
week, and only do a Full Backup once a week, and an intelligent differential
backup the remaining days of the week.

The reason I went from SecondCopy to SyncBack is because SyncBack supports
Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS), so for local NTFS hard drives it can back
up Open Files for XP, 2003 Server and I guess Vista (I do not yet have Vista
running other than on a dual boot machine that I only use in XP mode).  The
last time I checked SecondCopy does not support VSS.

I then use SyncBack once a week on a File Backup Manager Server to backup up
the primary backup HDD units to a set of secondary HDD backup units
(FreeAgent 750Gb SATA II/USB2, I use the eSATA II - FAST!).  Then weekly I
use BackupAssist to copy those secondary HDD backup units onto LTO3 tape
media (3 sets I keep in constant rotation, one on site, one in a bank safe,
one at a colleagues home office).

It is a killer setup, and relatively inexpensive (LTO3 tape drive and media
was the most costly part, followed by the duplicate set of backup HDD
units).  I do it because the cost of losing data, mine or that of a client,
(much less all my programming code) would put me out of business.

Another problem I found with the Disk Behaves Like Tape approaches is some
external HDD units will go to sleep when not used for a while, and there
is no practical way to alter that behavior.  I know the Seagate FreeAgent
HDD units do that.  But, they wake up properly when accessed, and to date I
have not lost any data with their firmware logic (knock on wood).  The
upside is they offer a 5 year warranty on their FreeAgent HDD units.  So I
put up with knowing the drives do spin down with non-use, by design.  I bet
the Disk Behaves Like Tape software is not tickling the target HDD
correctly, and waking them up (?).  That may also be something being done
via Windows Power Options (I always turn off power management in MOS/BIOS
and Windows, except for notebooks - can't trust the bastards to work
properly.).

 Subject: [NF] Backup Exec 11d


 Has anyone had experience with this software.

 We seem to be having nothing but problems getting this to run properly.

 We're trying to back up to external usb harddrives, but it is very
 problematic.

 Two major issues are, first, the software wants to treat a usb harddrive
 like tape so that you have to create a space reserved for each backup
 session.  We over estimate because we don't want to run out of tape/space
 for each backup session.  To me this seems stupid. Why can't you
 just create
 a folder and direct the software to place the backup files in that folder.
 Second, the software consistently fails, with the error message that the
 backup media is not available.  This is not true as you can see the usb
 drive with all its folders, files, etc.

 We have to safely remove the usb hardrive, shut it down, and
 restart before
 the Backup Exec software will acknowledge it is there.

 I'm about fed up and thinking about asking the reseller to take it back???

 Subject: RE: [NF] Backup Exec 11d

 I have dealt with tape backup vendors trying to use a hard drive as a
 virtual tape drive before.  They all miss the advantages in treating the
 disk as a random access device as opposed to a sequential access
 device like
 tape.  I finally moved to SecondCopy, and then later to SyncBack SE
 (www.syncback.com).  With both those inexpensive solutions there is the
 option to not needlessly back up a Source File if it exists on the target,
 and has not changed since the version already stored on the
 target.  Hence,
 it is capable of a far more intelligent way of backing up in the logic
 itself when compared to tape backups.  I set up paths for each day of the
 week, and only do a Full Backup once a week, and an intelligent
 differential
 backup the remaining days of the week.

 The reason I went from SecondCopy to SyncBack is because SyncBack supports
 Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS), so for local NTFS hard drives
 it can back
 up Open Files for XP, 2003 Server and I guess Vista (I do not yet
 have Vista
 running other than on a dual boot machine that I only use in XP
 mode).  The
 last time I checked SecondCopy does not support VSS.

 I then use SyncBack once a week on a File Backup Manager Server
 to backup up
 the primary backup HDD units to a set of secondary HDD backup units
 (FreeAgent 750Gb SATA II/USB2, I use the eSATA II - FAST!).  Then weekly I
 use BackupAssist to copy those secondary HDD backup units onto LTO3 tape
 media (3 sets I keep in constant rotation, one on site, one in a
 bank safe,
 one at a colleagues home office).

 It is a killer setup, and relatively inexpensive (LTO3 tape drive
 and media
 was the most costly part, followed by the duplicate set of backup HDD
 units).  I do it because the cost of losing data, mine or that of
 a client,
 (much less all my programming code) would put me out of business.

 Another problem I found with the Disk Behaves Like Tape approaches is some
 external HDD units will go to sleep when not used for a while, and there

Man, am I glad I selected PostgreSQL!  It is not because I foresaw a company
wrestling control of the solution from the Open Source gallery, then
charging for some or all of its features.  It is because I was really gunshy
about any possible misunderstandings about its dual-license, and where it
would leave me and my clients if I did as many do, and use it for free
regardless of any alleged misunderstanding.  Had I foreseen Sun acquiring
it, then opting to start to profit (e-gads!) from MySQL as a product, I
would have wasted far less time mulling over the Great MySQL vs PostgreSQL
debate.

Oh well, let's just hope that never, ever happens with Linux!  Or
PostgreSQL!  Or OpenOffice...  Time will tell, it always does.  At that, the
MySQL fees will not likely affect the majority of lighter duty users (for

Yeah, I read it.  More conjuring in the wizards' council.  It was going to
happen anyway, true enough.  But I was not in those meetings, nor did I read
anything about the conjuring.  Thus, for me it would have been a
blind-siding had I pinned my future direction on MySQL.  I know it is a fine
solution, and its price beats SQL Server and Oracle all to hell (not to
mention its kick ass performance).  But, fair is fair, and I did not feel I
could use the app for free and be fair to AB in doing so.  That is my Kinder
 Gentler side.  I also did not want to take any chances on getting nailed,
or getting any clients nailed, for using the MySQL DB commercially under
what could have (easily) been construed as eligible for remuneration (that
is my prefensive side).

RE: [NF] Didn't know Mr. Hale was so despised - really ought to be {OT}, but... heh-heh, since I am dead now....

2008-04-17 Thread Gil Hale
 I always thought Gil was a scumbag - I'm glad he's dead



I always thought Gil was a bit odd also, until I realized he was my Evil
Other Self, at which point I grew even more convinced he was representative
all things of foulness on our planet.  But, I for one, can state that
without a doubt Gil is not really as dead as supposed in the article Ed
Leafe dug out for us all to enjoy.  He merely sleeps at odd hours with his 3
Siberian Huskies (not with the fish, as in The Godfather).

That said, how to make this a legitimate [NF] subject...  Hmmm, my specialty
and I can't think of one reasonable way to not make this [OT].  Oh, here
goes, I have it...  Ed started this as [NF], so surely there is merit in him
having done this, even if he did it knowing full well I do not read [OT] and
wanted to make damned sure I saw this thread in all its glory.  Nice try, it
worked g...

Okay, that is it for the alleged [NF] stuff.  Fun is fun, but since I have
the [NF] floor in what really ought to be [OT], the following is optional,
extra credit reading g.  If you do not want to read something that really
pushes the edge for a [NF] add-on, stop here.  Read no further...


---
Warning - [OT] below
---

I am certain I could think of worse things than Gil being dead, but none
come to mind right now...  But for the moment at least let's be kind to that
poor bastard, as he needs some caring thoughts at the moment.  Why?  Well,
how about he had rented his SoCal home to a couple who within a few months
found the young wife had cervical cancer - and they had no medical
insurance.  Gil and his wife Lynda (this is strange talking about myself in
the 3rd person) opted to not make the couple leave, or kicking their young
children out onto the street (they had no safety net or relatives that could
help them).  So the Hales opted to Do The Right Thing, and carried the
young couple and their young children for 18 months, and allowed the husband
to do some work on the house that really was not needed as rental offset.
Heck, they even got them a high speed Internet connection and a nice Compaq
PC so the wife could work from home after she had begun her recovery.  The
rest of the rental expense was forgiven.  In 2006 Gil  Lynda incurred a
$17,000 write off, and in 2007 another $21,000 write off, for taxes (not
that they needed it) - all in the name of trying to be decent people when
they were in a position to be of help to this beleaguered family.  In late
December, 2007, the couple found a friend who had room in their new home for
them to live in for free, so they left the Hale House.  And all of this was
happening when Gil's own hourly physical system work  cabling related
income had dropped substantially due to his nerve damage in his neck.

Upon inspection by their Property Manager it was found that in the last 2-3
months of the wretched family remaining in the house they had damaged the
carpets throughout the house, damaged each of the alarm security window
screens ($300.00 each. Each one was cut), and the walls had been muddied and
soiled to the point where the entire interior had to be scrubbed down and
repainted.  Now, bear in mind that Gil had been in the home during his
frequent SoCal visits to see what had been done with the various house
projects, and setting up the PC he purchased for the family to use.  It had
been kept in good condition inside, at least until late October, 2007.  The
meager $1,200 security deposit had already been applied to the last month of
rent, so the Hales took it in the shorts for yet another $6,800 for carpet
replacement, security system repairs, and repainting, which took about 5
weeks to get scheduled and completed.  And now the house has been sitting
empty, awaiting another tenant since mid February with a cash burn rate of
$2,000 per month for all services (swimming pool service, soft water
service, lawn service, alarm service with telco interface, pest control
service, etc.  This ain't some shabby hut) and utilities, taxes, insurance,
etc.

So, NO MORE MR. NICE GUY!  Indeed the old saying is true, No Good Deed Ever
Goes Unpunished.  No sense in tracking the jerk down and suing him, he has
no money.  Now the mantra around here is simply, Pay the rent or our
Property Manager will make certain you are gone quickly.  The Property
Manager has been given very clear instructions to never, ever share any
personal tragedy stories with the Hales about any tenant again, ever.  We do
not want to hear it, we did our Lifetime Penance.  We are done.

Why the rant?  Why, of course I am taking full advantage of the Ed Leafe
[NF] for what should be an [OT] thread...  I figure as long as I am
allegedly dead, what the hell?  Who's gonna stop me g...

Re: [NF] Feedback on Brother laser printers?

2008-04-17 Thread Ken Dibble

Do any of you have experience with any of the Brother laser printers or
have an alternative recommendation in the same price/feature set window?

Sorry to respond so late.

We have been using Brother black  white laser printers for a few years. We 
started with the HL-1440. That was a tank--I've only had two of them fail 
in the 5 or so years we've had them--and those were mechanical failures 
accompanied by quite dramatic grinding noises in the paper transport.

When that model became unavailable, we went with the HL-2040 at the same 
price point. I've been much less happy with those--I've had about 5 of them 
fail--they stop recognizing paper or full toner cartridges, and nothing can 
be done.

That model was recently discontinued so we are now buying HL-2140s. It 
remains to be seen if they will be an improvement.

RE: [NF] Feedback on Brother laser printers?

We
 started with the HL-1440. That was a tank--I've only had two of them fail
 in the 5 or so years we've had them

I picked up an HL-1440 for my father to use with a Lispire Linux PC (v-4.5)
a few years ago.  The only thing I found with them was their firmware puts
them to sleep after so much time of non-use, which is fine.  except the
drivers then available via CUPS would not properly wake the printer up after
an extended sleep period.  So to get his printer to operate after a long
period of non-use (over 12 hours or so) he has to turn off the printer, then
turn it back on, or simply press the OnLine (?) button to get it to light
back up.

The other month I set him up with Ubuntu Linux v-7.10, mostly to get him
into a smoother interface (I really like Ubuntu 7.10 a lot).  I was also
hoping the new driver that came native with Ubuntu Linux would do a better
job of waking up the printer, but thus far it does not seem to have helped.
I have read with an earlier model driver does a better job (1210 model,
perhaps?).

Other than that, with all the light duty lasers I have seen in use, the
Brother is a real trooper.

Her animal rights stuff is questionable. In any event, I like this picture 
of her better than the one accompanying your link.

Ah yes, those were the days, and who could forget And God Created Woman.
